Time for Two Ways !

There are as many types of speakers are there are human languages and dialects, but we have to agree one of the most popular formats is the two way system, with a tweeter and mid-woofer.

Sure, they are imperfect, often limited in bass or dynamic range, but they have major advantages as well:

  • Small Footprint
  • Small baffles
  • Single crossover point
  • Easier to integrate with a room’s acoustics

These are some general ideas. Of course, you don’t have to like 2-way speakers. You may prefer full-range single driver, ESL or 5-way beasts, but I hope we can please keep this thread 2-way friendly!

I’d love to hear from others about 2-way speakers you adore. Are you a 2-way only kind of audiophile?  How do you like yours? Horn loaded? Transmission line? Desktop?

I'll vote for the ESS AMT ribbon and 10" version with the passive radiator too.  Still own a pair of the ribbons....

The 2 way format is what I'm playing with in my DIY pursuits, coupled to a sub.  Makes the most sense to me...

Nice threads, Eric.  Keep it up..;)

Hey Eric, I don't think you sent me a 2-way anything, but I could be wrong and frequently am. *L*  That 'senior thing', y'know...;)  If that was done 'elsewhere' than here on AG, I'd have to backtrack for it and time is a tad short right now.  If it's of importance, let me know.
I'm happy to see that the AMT's have a bigger following than I had thought.  Haven't heard the German version...would like to, to see if the breed has improved.  One would hope that's the case....
